Austrian Open 2019 [12-17 November 2019]

[Danny21312]

Ito has significantly improved her consistency in the last few tournaments, judging by how she's reached the final in the previous two and won this one. Now if only there was an equivalent of Ito on the men's side..

Certify means 'to confirm' in this context. So you implied that XX was certainly getting an Olympics singles spot, when what (I think) you meant was that his chances at a singles spot -- unless Ma Long can't play -- are now certainly dead.

outclassed is worded way to strong. There were 3 games when the set got into extra time... the true difference this game was ito´s service game

Nextlevel knew my stance beforehand when many people still believed XX will play singles.

The shorthand "certified" is common in hospitals in Hong Kong since the word "dead" is still considered taboo and is often skipped out of respect for the deceased. I used this as a pun. The images should've made it clear.

Ito was leading 3-1 in Swedish Open as well. The same thing could well have happened here if Ito didn't take the 5th game.

Your intended meaning was clear but your pun was certified on arrival.

Anybody knows why AB calls mima ito MIMA CHAN?

 

[zeio]

Which is exactly the intended meaning of the pun. I appreciate your certified response.

Look up Japanese honorifics.

I thought "chan" is some kind of chinese word and I felt strange AB is using sth like that in Austria for japanese player.

Maybe I am noob regarding japanese or chinese language or their culture but I never thought that asking question can offend anyone...

The amazing player is Timo. From beating Kong Linghui in 2002 WC (therefore LQL’s era), to ML, WH, WLQ, through ML, ZJK, XX, then FZD, LGY and LJK, and lately the likes of WCQ, all in all 5 generations of CNT.
What a run !

offending? no no. more like ROFLMAO or facepalm. depends on his personality.
